Title: "Split" an arrow with an arrow
Post by: BellaMorte on July 23, 2013, 08:35:00 PM
Started shooting today, started with my usual start was at about 10 to 15 yards when I heard an odd sound

Funny thing is my girlfriend was talking to me asking if I ever hit an arrow before, I said ya but I doubt ill ever split one like in the movies, not 2 arrows later

I tried my hardest to pull it out ended up unscrewing the arrowhead, not even upset I'm gonna keep this bad boy

Did it more times than I can count with wheels, but have yet to do it with my Widow.

I shot 30 of them in a single session one time and kept all of them... Until I woke up... I was a little disappointed when I realized I didn't actually have any. But, truth be told, I did get a little suspicious when 11 lavender pygmies hoisted me up over their heads and paraded me around Times Square in celebration of number 30. I should have known better. I weigh almost 300 pounds. In reality, it would have taken 15 or 20 lavender pygmies to hoist me up that way. Funny how distorted you perception can get in dreams.

All kidding aside, great shooting! And while girlfriend was looking no less!

another thing that makes me excited is that this is my second week of shooting any kind of bow, really makes me want to get more into it

Not to be a pool pee'r, butIve never understood the fascination with robinhoods. I guess if I called the shot it would be different.
But the law of averages will finally catch up to the arrow and a robinhood will happen.
Maybe its just me , but I like to keep my arrows in one pc.
But if you are happy I am happy for u!

Not a "Robinhood" unless it was your second shot and the 1st arrow was in the center of the bulleseye.   ;)  
Still is fun for me to get one when you're shooting groups though! Congrats!  :D

you know it's alot easier to split those things if you use an axe. Your lible to stand there all day long if you keep trying to do that with a bow.  :)   :)   :)
